All the Rest Gone.

The mugwumps set out three years ago full of
belief that their movement would play its part
in working cure of the partisan prostitution of
federal Office. They exerted all their efforts to
put the Dem ocratic party in power. A clean
sweep has followed. Not in quarter of
fury have SO many partisan appointments been
made in the past three years. Even that
child of reform, the bill protecting the classified
service from partisan appointment, has been
sacrificed in half the Offices of the country and
carried out in its spirit and letter in but two
three of the larger postoffices The friends,
forced to admit all this; but, like the young
doctor. they not discouraged '.They still

but it has been carried extreme. A player
who goes into any club whatever, in the League
Association, signs away his liberty for as
many years as he can play ball at all. Once
signed by any club, ne must always play ball
with that club if its managers choose, and the
only resource, if his salary does not suit him, is
to go into some other business If the directors
get good offer for him they may sell him to
some other club, the sale being conducted with
out reference to any wishes of his own, and
without any pecuuiary benefit to him.
The players beginning to grow FESTIVE
under this system. Some OF them are men of
education, many are men of shrewd business
sense. 1t is a question how long they will n
dure to remain ''chattels." If they ever come
to any agreement among themselves, they may
effect great change. Suppose, for instance,
that they were to hold a convention next Octo-
Der, and draw up and adopt "blll of rights"
Suppose the directors of the League refused to
grant it. Suppose, further, that the players
thereupon should form a operative league of

When the Delaware, Lackawanna 6 Western

roads we could name, the officers of the company
had the manliness to refuse to run trains over
